Big fall in Bracknell burglaries

Burglaries have dropped again in Bracknell Forest as the public take heed of the police’s crime prevention advice.

Chief Inspector Dave Gilbert revealed on Tuesday there had been just 133 burglaries this year and believes part of the reason for the drop is a combination of high-profile patrols and people’s improved security knowledge.

He also revealed there had been just one burglary in the borough so far this week.

He added that 133 burglaries in a town with a population of around 110,000 with around 40,000 homes was a “very low number”.
